Baseball The major league ball clubs may have ad- vantage of the smaller clubs by reason of their southern training trips, but they are not much ahead of C. H. S. Although our base- ball club did not take a southern trip to get into condition, yet along in the middle of win- ter certain members could be seen getting their batting eye into condition on the Y. M. C. A. billiard table. QVV'ithout a doubt, it is ad- vantageous to read newspaper dope. j The disappointment which was our lot last season must have inspired the candidates with a determination to show every one that Can- ton High really did possess the kind of peo- ple who can do things and do them well, and certainly the manner in which practice started and progressed made this point clear. A great portion of credit is due to the energetic cap- tain who was elected by the members of last year's team. It is always the best policy to practice what you preach and in this respect it can not be said that the leader of the team Five men of last year's team returned this season, while the remainder of the team was made up of men who had some experience in athletics before. A good foundation has been laid for next year's team which should make a still more enviable record. Only three men graduate in 1911. The management should be commended for obtaining a good schedule, but more prompt- ness in getting out the season tickets would have helped to better the financial returns which are never as good as in other depart- ments of athletics.

Field Day Although the usual events took place at the annual field meet in respect to the winner, yet such a decided victory for the Senior Class has not been heard of for a number of years. Out of a possible 98 points the class of '11 secured 69 points, '12 secured 19 points, and '13 took 10 points. Good time was made in all track events except the 100 yard dash, which was timed as 12 seconds Hat. The time made by the same runner in the 220 yard dash showed clear1y that some mistake had been made. Two records were broken during the afternoon. The high jump, which has stood for eleven years at 5 feet inches, was raised by Paul Davis to 5 feet 42 inches. Edgar Phillips did remarkable work in reducing the record for the 220 yard run from 23 3 f5 sec- onds to 232 seconds. Individual honors were taken by Edgar Phillips, '11, with 15 points, Gustavus Phil- lips, '11, with with 8 points. 10 points, and Paul Davis, '11, SUMMARY Event. Records. l First. Second.

Fisher '11 Indoor Track Team Again Canton High can be proud of the team which represented her at the third an- nual Indoor Athletic Meet. This affair man- aged and financed by the Y. M. C. A., drew a large crowd, as it had in former years, and as our boys came out upon the track, they were greeted by cheer after cheer, which nerved them for the trial. The teams arrayed against us had not been underrated and from start to finish it was any- one's race. Snyder, '11, first runner, took a lead of a few feet and held it, Heilman, '12, second runner, gained slightly and VVa1ters, '12, held his own, Phillips, '11, captain, then finished the race in a very creditable manner. This is the third consecutive time C. H. S. has won this event against such schools as University School of Cleveland, Massillon H. S. and Wooster H. S. and, as before, the mem- bers of the team each received a medal in ad- dition to the cup which was presented to the school. Snyder also succeeded in winning the 440 yard-run with Barrett, U. S., and Heilman a close second and third.
